Solar Foods
Startup · Helsinki, Finland
Solar Foods produces Solein, a single-cell protein made via gas fermentation using CO2, hydrogen and electricity — entirely decoupled from agriculture. Founded in 2017 as a VTT and LUT University spin-off, the company opened the world's first commercial-scale air-protein facility in Vantaa in 2024. In 2026 it is advancing its EFSA novel food approval and finalising the investment decision for Factory 02 in Lappeenranta, which will scale annual capacity from 160 to 6,400 tonnes. Fortum is a key investor and strategic partner for district heating integration.
